"Regiment commander, the third battalion can't stand it! Request support! ”

"There is no one in Lao Tzu's hands now, let them resist it!"

"Regiment commander, if you continue like this, the third battalion will be almost gone!"

"Even if you die, you must resist Lao Tzu!"

On one of the positions, a regimental commander roared.

He was the commander of the 30th Regiment of the 297th Army of the Shenzhou Army.

The 30th Army was ordered to participate in the Battle of the Li River, and after crossing the river, more than 30,000 people suffered one-third casualties in just five days!

The 297th Regiment was tasked with garrisoning a high ground and had to hold it for 48 hours without allowing a single enemy soldier to pass.

However, now that 24 hours have not arrived, less than 1,000 of the 1,500 people in the regiment are still fighting power.

The divisions of the Eastern Navy are divided into four grades, A, B, C, and D, with Class A being the highest and Class D being the lowest, with Class A divisions having the best armament and the most elite combatants.

At this time, the 297th Regiment was facing the attack of the infantry wing under the command of a B Division of the Eastern Navy, the number of the opponent exceeded 2,000 people, and half of the main weapons were automatic assault rifles, 8 light machine guns, 4 heavy machine guns, 6 grenadiers, as well as two 70mm caliber infantry guns and two 75mm field guns.

The firepower is almost double that of the 297 regiment!

However, the high ground garrisoned by the 297th Regiment was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it could have used the terrain and the will to fight to smooth out the firepower gap between the Eastern Navy and the Eastern Navy.

However, not long after the battle began, an artillery wing of the Eastern Navy launched an artillery bombardment on the positions of the 297th Regiment!

Under the suppression of artillery, the 297 regiment suffered heavy casualties and was on the verge of collapse.

It's not that the soldiers of the 297th Regiment don't dare to fight, it's not that the generals who command the battle are incompetent, it's really the enemy's cannon fodder that is too fierce, and this is a gap that no tactics and terrain can erase!

Judging from the current situation, let alone 48 hours, I am afraid that even 24 hours will not be able to hold on.

Just when the commander of the 297th Regiment was in despair, the position in front of him, which was shrouded in continuous artillery fire, suddenly 'calmed'.

"Huh?"

"Regiment commander, the artillery fire of the Eastern Navy seems to have stopped."

"Go and ask what's going on?"

Moments later, the news came back:

The artillery fire of the Eastern Navy really stopped, and the offensive was also suspended.

"What the hell are these rakshasas?"

The commander of the 297 regiment was puzzled.

Obviously, he will be able to take this position in a while, but the other party suddenly stopped?

On the other side, Nakasa of the Eastern Navy Infantry Wing, who was responsible for attacking the 297th Regiment, was also angrily asking:

"Why stop shelling?!"

"We have just received a direct order from the command to divert the target of the attack."

On the other end of the phone came the voice of the artillery wing.

"What goal? Isn't your goal to help me take Heights 27? ”

"I don't know, the command asked me to shell a mountainous area in the southeast."

"A mountainous area to the southeast?"

Nakasa, who was on the phone, frowned and looked at the map, "There are no enemies there, why shell there?" ”

"I don't know either"

Da Zuo on the other end of the phone was also confused.

But the order of the command had to be carried out, and after ten minutes, the artillery of the artillery wing had already turned its muzzles and adjusted the firing according to the coordinates sent by telegram.

The artillery wing of a division B was armed with a total of 36 guns, including 12 75mm infantry guns, 12 105mm field guns and 12 120mm mortars.

The target of the shelling was a mountainous area about 6 km away, so the 75mm infantry guns were not used, and the remaining 24 guns opened fire almost simultaneously!

On the rocky mountains, Zhao Yan, Hou Qi and Mo Lifeng were resting here.

After capturing Mo Lifeng, Zhao Yan and Hou Qi rushed overnight and climbed over a mountain overnight.

Mo Lifeng naturally did not have such speed and physical fitness, and most of the time he was dragged by Zhao Yan and Hou Qi to run.

The weight of more than 100 catties seemed to Zhao Yan and Hou Qi as if they did not exist, and the two of them grabbed Mo Lifeng with one hand each, running quickly among the mountains and forests.

Only in some narrow places will it be replaced by one person dragging Mo Lifeng, or letting him act on his own.

In such a way, the speed of the three of them is amazing!

If nothing else, it will only take them three days at most to reach Pearl City.

However, Zhao Yan knew that things were definitely not so simple, the super S-level mission could not be without accidents, and the enemy's interception would come sooner or later.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that it wasn't the people who came to intercept them first.

"Huh?"

Zhao Yan sensed that something was wrong before Hou Qi.

It's not that he is more vigilant than Hou Qi, it's just that he has obtained the bonus of [National Glory of National Art] one step ahead.

[Glory of the National Arts] can be used as a 100% readiness alert skill in many cases!

"What's wrong?"

Hou Qi asked.

Then he jerked his head up and looked at the sky in the distance.

"Shelling!"

Zhao Yan's eyes were awe-inspiring.

"Huh?"

Mo Lifeng, who was sitting with his back against a rock, looked confused.

In his opinion, the whereabouts of the three people are hidden, and no one knows their location at all, so how can they be shelled?

Shelling requires precise coordinates!

Zhao Yan and Hou Qi exerted force at the same time and dragged Mo Lifeng up from the ground.

"Brother Hou, I'll control the direction next!"

Zhao Yan said to Hou Qi.

With the blessing of [National Glory of Art], his Divine Court attribute is as high as 30 points, and he has a more acute perception ability than Hou Qi!

"Okay."

Hou Qi nodded in response.

At the same time, the trio could already see a row of black dots suddenly appearing in the air in the distance.

Dozens of shells have already crossed several kilometers and are flying towards them!

Mo Lifeng's eyes widened, his hands and feet were cold, and his brain was blank:

"It's over!"

Under such shelling, even a piece of steel would be blown apart, let alone flesh and blood.

This is an attack that non-human beings can withstand, no matter how powerful Zhao Yan and Hou Qi are, he feels that he is dead.

"It's coming!"

Zhao Yan decisively opened the [Concentration Shouyi], and then slammed Mo Lifeng and rushed towards the right front.

At the moment when he exerted his strength, Hou Qi, who also put his hand on Mo Lifeng's body, accurately 'heard' his strength, so he didn't need Zhao Yan to say anything at all, Hou Qi also dragged Mo Lifeng and rushed in the same direction.

In the next second, the shell hit the ground.

Boom Boom

Numerous explosions rang out almost at the same moment.

It was like a grand firework blooming, and the exploding air waves, black smoke, and flying gravel were like huge waves that suddenly gathered in an instant, flooding this mountain!

Mo Lifeng's eardrums were shaken by the huge sound for the first time, and the howling wind made him almost unable to open his eyes.

His whole body trembled uncontrollably, and snot and tears flowed uncontrollably from his face.

It was not the first time he had experienced artillery bombardment, but it had been in the midst of pre-built fortifications, and he had never experienced it before in a field of direct shelling as he did now.

A huge sense of dread enveloped his body and mind, and he almost felt like he had one foot in hell!

However, the strong wind in his ears continued to howl for a long time, and the two forces were still pulling his body to move quickly.

Yourself, not dead yet?

Mo Lifeng cautiously opened his eyes, and there were countless black smoke and dust in front of him, and the explosion seemed to stop.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the second round of shells had already arrived!

The 105mm field guns equipped by the Eastern Navy for the artillery wing can fire 20 shells per minute.

120mm mortar, which can fire 15 shells per minute.

Therefore, for every round of shelling faced by Zhao Yan and others, the number of shells falling per minute was 420 rounds!

Each shell explodes, first of all, the damage caused by hundreds of fragments in all directions, followed by the damage caused by the high temperature and high pressure brought by the explosion, and the effective killing radius is at least 10 meters.

In other words, when a shell falls, it will form a death area of about 300 square meters, as long as you are in this area, whether it is Zhao Yan wearing nano-level body armor or Hou Qi who has the physique of a grandmaster, it is a dead word!

If the 420 shells had fallen together, Zhao Yan would have died by now.

Fortunately, there is a certain gap between the 24 guns of the Eastern Navy when firing, and there is also a certain gap between each shell.

Zhao Yan relied on his divine perception ability to judge the landing point of the cannonball in advance, so as to find a relatively safe space from these 'gaps', and then took Mo Lifeng and Hou Qi to dodge.

He and Hou Qi pulled Mo Lifeng and ran on the rugged mountain, and they could rush out more than 30 meters per second.

But a second round of shelling followed!

Boom –

Boom Boom

As the first explosion flame rose, countless explosions set off a huge wave again, and a deafening sound swept out, and the huge wave silently lifted and rose, slapping the three people on the mountain into it!

Gray-black smoke covered the area, a massive shock wave swept through everything, rocks and trees were blown to pieces, and a choking, dry smell permeated the area

Dark red flames rose up, countless small objects splashed, and waves of air rolled and raged.

Such a blow gives people the feeling that dozens of grandmasters around them have joined forces and exploded with all their might!

In the state of [Concentration and Keeping One], all the changes around him are like 'slow motion', Zhao Yan concentrates all his attention to perceive the trajectory of each shell, judge the scope of the explosion, and find a way to survive among the blooming flowers of death.

His trajectory was zigzag, but the general direction was all the way forward.

Even if someone on the side of the Eastern Navy can sense the position of himself and others, but inform the artillery wing of the coordinates, and then the artillery wing adjusts the firing of Zhu Yuan, it will also take time, as long as the speed of himself and others is fast enough, faster than the speed of the other party's adjustment, there is a chance to get out of danger.

Therefore, the route chosen by Zhao Yan is to keep moving forward.

But soon a forest appeared ahead.

In the woods, there are too many obstructions, and the speed will inevitably slow down.

And it's hard to fit three people side by side in the woods.

There was no way, Zhao Yan could only turn around.

He must then dodge enemy fire in the area until they stop shelling or run out of shells.

The third round of shelling came.

The three of them are like a flat boat in an angry sea storm, submerged, rushed out of the wind and waves, submerged again, rushed out of the wind and waves again, and so on.

It could be torn apart by the storm at any moment!

Mo Lifeng, who was dragged by the two of them, felt like a rag sack in a storm, pulled by a huge force, and his body was almost torn.

In order to ensure speed, Zhao Yan and Hou Qi didn't care that Mo Li would not be injured, and now it was important to save their lives.

During the third round of shelling, Zhao Yan felt a numbness in his body and knew that he had been hit by fragments of the shell.

However, in the state of [Concentration and Keeping One], even if he is disemboweled, he will not feel the slightest pain, and his movements will not be affected.

Soon, all 420 shells hit the ground, unleashing their power.

The third round of shelling is over, and the fourth is coming soon!

Mo Lifeng, who was dragged by the two, had already fainted, and his body was covered with black ash and blood.

He was also hit by fragments of the shell, but he was not hit by the vital point, and his life was not in danger for the time being.

The nano-level body armor on Zhao Yan's body had been damaged unconsciously, and several fragments tore the body armor and inserted it into his body!

As for Hou Qi, his back was also blood-red.

But all three are at least alive, under the bombardment of thousands of shells, still alive!

Soon, the fourth round of shelling also ended.

Zhao Yan stopped moving.

As soon as he stopped, Hou Qi also stopped, and both of them looked at the sky in the distance.

There were no shells there again.

After waiting in place for a few seconds, Zhao Yan withdrew from the [Concentration and Shouyi] state, and a huge sense of exhaustion hit him like a tide.

The four rounds of shelling lasted for about five minutes in total, and during these five minutes, Zhao Yan was bursting out with all his strength almost every minute and every second, and at the same time, his brain had to run at high speed, thinking about the route of dodging, and the consumption of physical strength and energy was extremely great!

Not only that, Zhao Yan's nano-level body armor was torn in many places, and shell fragments were inserted into his back, left shoulder, and thigh.

"Brother Hou, are you okay?"

Zhao Yan turned his head and asked Hou Qi.

Hou Qi shook his head: "I can't die." ”

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and noticed that the other party's back was blurred with flesh and blood, and a fragment of a cannonball was inserted into his left chest and abdomen, and the blood flowed.

Without body armor, Hou Qi's injuries are much more serious than Zhao Yan's!

"Give him a wound first."

Hou Qi pointed to Mo Lifeng, who had passed out, and said.

Zhao Yan didn't talk nonsense, and immediately checked Mo Lifeng's situation.

With Hou Qi and Zhao Yan on the left and right to 'carry the damage' for him, Mo Lifeng's condition was not serious, and four pieces of shell fragments were inserted into his body, but none of them hurt the vital point.

Zhao Yan gently wiped his hands through the other party's wound, squeezed the fragments out of the opponent's body with Tai Chi winding strength, and then stopped the bleeding of the opponent's wound.

Bagua Palm has a style of 'ox tongue rolling grass', and after practicing the palm strength to the softest realm, you can even use your strength to directly stitch up the wound, which is even more powerful than the most brilliant doctor!

Zhao Yan's Baguazhang has not reached that level for the time being, but it is enough to help people stop the bleeding.

On the other side, Hou Qi had already squeezed out the fragments in his body one by one, and the wound quickly stopped bleeding.

For him, who can easily carry qi and blood, stopping bleeding is as simple as breathing.

But even if it is a grandmaster, after shedding so much blood and being injured like this, his combat effectiveness will inevitably be affected.

"Mo Lifeng is not dead yet."

In one of the camps, Pei Deng said to Jiro Otake.

His [Soul Chaser] can determine the location of the target, and can also determine the life and death of the target, once the target dies, the [Soul Chaser] sense will also disappear.

Now the induction of [Soul Chasing] is still there, which means that Mo Lifeng is still alive.

"None of them died?"

Jiro Otake thought it was incredible.

The artillery wing closest to the other side had temporarily run out of ammunition and could not continue the shelling.

"Even if you're not dead, you're seriously injured, so send someone to intercept it."

Pei Deng pointed to the map and said:

"They won't be able to get out of this mountainous area!"
